Joy Duggar and Austin Forsyth welcome a daughter after losing a little girl last year

Earlier this year, Duggar and Forsyth announced that they were pregnant with their third child — and having another girl. Last year, Duggar and Forsyth went through a stillbirth after learning at 20 weeks that their baby girl had no heartbeat. Duggar gave birth, and the two took photos with their little girl before laying her to rest.

On Aug. 21, Duggar and Forsyth officially welcomed their new baby. The little girl, whose name was not yet announced as of press time, was introduced on the couple’s Instagram, and fans were thrilled to see the pair welcome a daughter after going through something so difficult last year. 

Fans think the baby looks so much like Austin Forsyth

Duggar and Forsyth both posted photos to their Instagrams, showing off their newborn girl. And fans were quick to realize that the little one looks just like Duggar’s husband.

“She’s the spitting image of her dad!!!” one fan wrote on Duggar’s post. “So beautiful, she looks so much like her daddy,” another person commented. “She’s a beauty, daddy’s twin,” a fan reacted on Forsyth’s post. Duggar said in her caption that she and Forsyth have loved spending some quiet time with their little girl, whose birth was not announced until three days after she was actually born.

Duggar and Forsyth’s daughter is Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 18th grandchild

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have 19 kids, and by the end of this year, they’ll have just as many grandkids. Duggar and Forsyth’s daughter is Jim Bob and Michelle’s 18th grandchild, and Jinger Duggar’s baby girl, who is due in November, will be their 19th.

Fans and critics have gone back and forth on who they believe will be the ones to welcome the parents’ 20th grandchild, with some believing it will be Jessa and Ben Seewald and others convinced it will be Joe and Kendra Duggar.
